本研究在开放格式转录任务中使用修改韵律测试检查了 DECTalk 和 MacinTalk 语音合成器之间的词级清晰度差异。参与的听众分为三组：缺乏经验的语音语言病理学家和语音合成专家。受试者间方差分析的结果表明，专家组正确识别的单词数量明显多于其他听众组。对于声音的受试者内部因素，每组内的简单效应方差分析和事后对比表明，听众对 DECTalk 男声 Perfect Paul 的清晰度得分高于 MacinTalk 男声 Bruce 的清晰度得分。两个合成器之间没有发现其他成对性别/年龄匹配的差异。
This study examined word level intelligibility differences between DECTalk and MacinTalk speech synthesizers using the Modified Rhyme Test in an open format transcription task. Three groups of listeners participated: inexperienced, speech-language pathologists, and speech synthesis experts. Results for between-subjects ANOVA showed that the expert group correctly identified a significantly higher number of words than each of the other listener groups. For the within-subjects factor of voice, simple effects ANOVA and post hoc contrasts within each group showed that listeners had higher intelligibility scores for the DECTalk male voice, Perfect Paul, than for the MacinTalk male voice, Bruce. No other pairwise gender/age-matched differences were found between the two synthesizers.
